Plan International at the United Nations
Putting girls’ rights at the top of the agenda at the United Nations in New York and Geneva
Plan International works to advance children’s rights and equality for girls and young women. We drive change in practice and policy at local, national and international levels, influencing decision-makers to advance and protect the rights of girls, boys and others.
Our work at the United Nations is key to delivering our global ambition of transforming the lives of millions of girls and dismantling structures of inequality and discrimination. While we advance the rights of all children and young people in all their diversity, we focus particularly on girls and young women and the specific vulnerabilities they face.
